r/Offmychest I Blew All My Savings on Get Rich Quick

staying with your parents into your late twenties and thirties cannot be considered mooching in this economy 💀

3rd story: a study found that in general, kids spend 80% of the total time they have with their parents from birth to 18 years old. She really did rob OP from pretty much every moment they will have with their dad.

Gonna be honest, that part of non-North American cultures really needs to be normalized everywhere: if you need to live with your parents, then live with your parents. It's not mooching, it's not something that should be treated as shameful. It's using the resources you have. And for the record, abuse means you do NOT need to live with your parents.

First Story: OP's dad now realizes that he no longer has power over OP and that OP could really hurt him now. OP's dad sucks and OP's mom sucks for allowing this man to abuse OP or at least did nothing about it

The only person who has ever given me, a 28yr old guy, the heeby jeebies was when someone was trying way to hard to find a reason to keep the conversation going and then asked me "so are those your ONLY dogs?" referring to my two ankle biters being anxiously vicious on the other side of the fence. Immediately made my go into hyper awareness mode.

Last story gives the term "party pooper" a whole new meaning.

Sixth Story: OP fell for a clear cut scam. If something sounds too good to be true but it's likely is

"Dark Past" Story 5: OP needs to change gyms. Also, he should alert the gym manager that the PDF is prowling.

12:33. (From a former sw who was paid to be a child) they ask questions like: *childhood questions that focus on relationships,clothes, appearance, sex, any cliché porn adolescent scenes. They'll eventually ask for photos *pics about your family or support system (to see where they can isolate you) * infantilizing you, prioritizing anything childlike inbound current self that is attached to your childhood self. Rewarding you for any child like or giddy behavior. *asking ALOT of questions about the kids in your life and family (seriously folks, PLEASE don't post pics of your kids to social media. It's usually the family friend you would never suspect or the sketchy friend who "would never do anything to YOUR KID because of xyz reason" who take those pics, and fixate on them/other things and use them as roots for future grooming 8 to 10 years down the line (to give an average time frame, sometimes it's more sometimes it's less)

Story 6: OP got scammed, in multiple directions, and I imagine his wife found out by now. Consider it lesson learned, don't take advice from random "influencers" and don't buy objects in bulk that you never used before
